Abstract
Over a century ago, Esperanto journals carried messages of world peace and greater understanding among cultures to all parts of the world and sought to build an international community of speakers by articulating a sentiment of transnational common identity. This study investigates such efforts based on Esperanto journal editors’ own published words, detailing how they conceived of their work in the service of Esperantism. Digitised archives of scanned Esperanto journals (selected from 1889-1912, a formative period in the Esperanto movement) provide the primary source material for this study. The study investigates how Esperanto periodicals served as venues for expression of feelings of transnational connectedness. This research illuminates an actively engaged readership that can be seen as a precursor to today’s notions of participatory journalism
